Abstract: A system for interactive sports. The system is comprised of participants and two or more real-life athletes organized individually or in teams. Participants direct operational decisions for a real-life athlete or team of athletes who must follow the directions of participants. Participants compete against other participants controlling other athletes and teams, based on the performance of the athletes or teams that they control. Participants vote by numerous communications media and their preferences are collected and processed by an information system. Participants also communicate with real-life athletes and players and other participants. Athletes and teams compete and winners receive compensation. Participants who control winning teams are also eligible for compensation.
